Brief Summary of Unit

Throughout this unit, students will gain a strong understanding of trigonometric functions, as well as how they are derived. Students will learn important terminology such as reciprocal, opposite, adjacent, and unit circle. They will understand and be able to show the relationships between the six different trigonometric functions, as well as between the different parts of a triangle. Furthermore, students will be able to derive all six functions from the unit circle. Throughout the unit, student will master the skills necessary to solve for missing lengths in a right triangle, as well as be able to recognize which trigonometric functions should be used in which context. They will also compare different ways of problem solving. Students will be able to apply their new found knowledge of trigonometric functions to real life situations. Throughout the unit, students will partake in a variety of classroom activities designed promote the growth of every student in the field Trigonometry.
